Tea? (Part 2)

[potsy]

Ah, a morning ride round a foggy Tatton Park!

Not Tatton this time but there will be 10's of feet of climbing over around 30 miles

Carb loading has begun

A few years ago we were out for a walk and when we got to a field there were 2 couples, townies, 1 lady joked about whether the farmer would mind if she tried to milk the cow, that I would have loved to have seen, it was a BULL!

Somebody must have that job, so farmers can artificially inseminate pedigree cows! (I'm now waiting for somebody to tell me that they have the bovine equivalent of an inflatable sex doll to carry out the 'milking' task!)

Have a pile of school trousers waiting to be turned up, sewing machine kaput.

Motor is working, needle not going up and down - any ideas CycleChatters? Are sewing machine repairs expensive?

Is there a belt(usually rubber) still attached to the motor & does it still move?

I worked on a dairy farm one summer... the only thing I learned from the experience; cows are really dumb

No, last seen done by inserting a needle up the full lenght of anaethatised piece of anatomy. Needle about 12 inches long. I had the job of holding the full ones.

WARNING
Never attempt this unless you are a licensed veterinarian. Even so, as a licensed veterinarian there is no real need to follow the steps of this article due to the fact you would have already been shown and trained to do this in veterinary college!

Ha ha - that's my fledgling plan for a career in bull milking cancelled then!

I just wanted to say I think I've lost about 15 pounds in the last week (sorry I don't get the 'stone' thing). Not from riding though.... I found this really great diet once back in my early 20's called "the poor mans diet" it works really well the trick is to be so poor you have no money for food!

14 pounds to a stone. However lbs over your side of the water are differrent to ours, this side of the water. Weight wise that is.

Some still do it by hand, so don't rule a career change out just yet. It'd stand out on your CV.

Today we received an anniversary card from my folks, I know it is from them as my mum only uses 1 'D' in our last name, we have 2, bless her

I think you are wrong there - link! There are some confusing differences - US tons <> UK tons, US gallons <> UK gallons, and so on, but pounds, inches, feet, yards and miles are the same.

Yeah, that would have been funny though dairy bulls are considerably more docile then beef bulls
